Based on the provided reference, while several options are suggested for topical application to fissures as part of home remedies, the reference does not specify a single oil as definitively "best". It lists multiple substances that can be applied.
Recommended Topical Applications for Fissures
According to the reference, applying certain substances is part of home remedies for an acute fissure. The substances mentioned for application are:
- Olive oil
- Coconut oil
- Ghee
The reference lists these options together, indicating they are potential beneficial applications, but it does not rank them or declare one as superior to the others for treating fissures.
Other Home Remedies Mentioned
In addition to applying oils or ghee, the reference also highlights other home remedies that can aid in the healing of an acute fissure:
- Taking a Sitz bath
- Consuming 1-2 tbsp. of apple cider vinegar
- Maintaining a fiber-rich diet to ensure soft stools
A fiber-rich diet is particularly important as soft stools can help prevent aggravation of the fissure, allowing it to heal. Many acute fissures can heal on their own with these simple measures.
In summary, the provided reference indicates that applying olive oil or coconut oil (among other options like ghee) can be helpful home remedies for fissures, but it does not identify one as the best oil.
